About this property

Beautiful open concept family beach house! Walk to beach, Millie's and market.

A wonderful summer vacation getaway, this spacious house is awesome for families looking to escape to a very special corner of Nantucket. With its 3 bedrooms, the house can sleep up to 8 depending upon sleeping arrangements. One one side of the main living area is a spacious bedroom with a comfortable queen-sized bed, flat screen TV & double closets. Nearby is the perfect bedroom for 4 kids with one double bed, a twin bunk bed and a twin trundle bed underneath and two large closets and two dressers. Both rooms share an immaculate bathroom with a spacious vanity, toilet and shower.
On the other side of the house, the large, private primary suite has a new king-sized mattress and wrought iron bed, a new flat screen TV, walk-in closet, en-suite full bathroom and a surprise – a second floor loft to a private outdoor deck.
The fully-equipped kitchen has a breakfast bar and it opens into the dining room that seats 8 comfortably at the wide country table.
The open living room has soaring ceilings, a wood burning fireplace and two seating areas, both with views of giant flat screen TV and kitchen. The loft off the living room is accessed via a spiral staircase and is a great hangout for kids to watch TV, play games, do puzzles or read. Large outdoor deck in the front is perfect for dining al fresco. There's also a gas grill out back in the large manicured yard!
***RENTALS ARE FROM SATURDAY TO SATURDAY ONLY.
8 Person Maximum.
NO PETS ALLOWED.
NO PARTIES ALLOWED.
Our home is in a quiet, family neighborhood. A yard surrounds the house. The house is very close to the town bike path, Millie's sandwich/ice cream shop and full-service restaurant (have a Madaket Mystery and enjoy the sunset!) and a local boat ramp. Walk or bike to nearest beach or drive to explore new ones!
Turn-key vacation, just bring yourselves, your flip flops and enjoy!

Madaket family vacation

Fantastic location Walkable to beach and Millie’s for dinner or just an ice cream. The house was quite spacious for all seven of us. Well stocked kitchen. We loved the outdoor shower. Big beautiful windows and a great deck out front. We did bring a car to make travel easy around the island. Would love to go here again!

Madakat Retreat

We have been to Nantucket multiple times and we have always stayed in town. This trywe decided to try something different and stay out in Madakat. We loved it. Lots of outdoor private space easy walk to the beach and Millie’s. We enjoyed walking to the beach at night for sunsets and coffee in the morning. Life is slower than being in town and yet town is just an easy drive away. House has all the amenities you need.

💫

We are so grateful to have stayed in this very special home! Shooting Star is perfectly charming and incredibly comfortable. We wanted for nothing. The beach was a beautiful 5 minute walk down the road. We loved walking to Millie’s for dinner or just ice cream. While the weather was a bit overcast and rainy for some of our stay, it was so cozy to snuggle up on the couch with a good book. This was the most relaxing vacation thus far and we cannot wait to return. Many thanks to Susanna and her family!!

Perfect Getaway!

Our party had great experiences through VRBO previously but nothing compared to this house - super cozy and immaculately clean! The house had everything and more for a week vacation! Location absolutely perfect in Madaket - stunning and quiet area and very close to the beach - we watched incredible sunsets every single day! Susanna was very responsive and accommodating! We all had incredible time and we can't wait to return to the Shooting Star next year!

This Madaket beach house exceeded all our expectations

Shooting Star is a large spacious home 3 to 4 minutes walk from the beach. The house is well presented, scrupulously clean and stocked with everything you could need and more. The outdoor shower was such a bonus for our family of 6 adults travelling with a toddler. Susanna was easy to contact and dealt with any queries immediately. We all loved our stay & would recommend this amazing property to anyone.

Fell in love with Madaket

Our stay at Shooting Star was amazing! While we’ve visited Nantucket many times before, this was our first time staying in Madaket and it definitely won’t be our last. The house was gorgeous and only a minutes walk to the beach. It had all sorts of chairs, umbrellas and beach gear so we didn’t need to bring our own. The house was light, bright and breezy and perfectly fit my family of four, my parents and sister. So many cozy places to play games or take naps. Loved sitting out on the decks and loved the quiet neighborhood. Also enjoyed a daily 10 mile bike ride on the bike path which is right around the corner. The perfect spot for a week’s worth of family memories!

We stayed with our 9, 6 and 4 year old and had an amazing week. Great house! Everything we needed—chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, flashlight, etc. 5 minutes to beach. 10 minutes to Millie’s. We loved it!

A space for everyone

Great house in that there are multiple gathering places, or places to escape each other and read a book or nap. Madaket is nice as it is away from the bustle of downtown, but not too far away in that a car ride is easy enough. Walk down to the nearby beach is <5 min; bike ride to Millie's Market is quick enough too.

Great family vacation

Our family had a great time in this home. Our kids loved playing in the yard and walking a few minutes each morning to see the seals swimming in the ocean. It was a short drive to town and new beaches that we wanted to try. Susanna was a wonderful host and very attentive to anything we might have needed. We loved our time in Madaket and hope to book another stay next summer!

Great Madaket Home!!

My family and I stayed at this wonderful property for a week in early July 2017. We loved the layout of this house with its open living and kitchen area and spacious bedrooms. We originally were worried that the house did not have air conditioners, but no need to worry, we always had beautiful ocean breeze and the home has plenty of fans. The separate laundry room, fully stocked with beach towels and an extra bathroom was very convenient. The house is stocked with everything you need, beach chairs, great beach umbrellas, bicycles, even an extra cooler. I would highly recommend this house to any family looking to rent in beautiful Madaket! The house is only a short walk to private beach. The yard is beautifully maintained and the house is very private! The home owners responded quickly to one issue with had with trash pickup. If we vacation again in Nantucket, I will look at renting this house again!! Overall a great property all the way around !!!

About the host

Why they chose this property

We bought our house in Madaket after years of renting in Wauwinet at the very other side of the island. Madaket has a fun vibe that's great for families. It also has lots of pristine beaches. We like to go to the one down our street and then also explore the local roads to find access to the other ones that are more hidden but still close by. When it's open, we love going to Smith's Point, too, because you get an ocean beach and a harbor beach and it's great for picking up some scallop shells.
We also love the history in Nantucket - all the old homes - and the unique shops and fine dining. What's great about the island is that for all it stays the same, it's always changing, and there's always something going on in town. For a week's vacation for both relaxing and sightseeing there's no place we'd rather be in the summer! We're into our second decade of summering in Nantucket and still loving it! We bet you will, too!

What makes this property unique

What makes our house special is that it feels like a real home, but it's so close to the beach that it has the personality of a beach house, too. It's fun and casual and easy to live in, not fussy. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy all the island has to offer. We hope you will try it and agree!
